Official Film Thread

anyway, can any of you recommend some "colorful" film for my AE-1? I've been using Kodak 400 ISO and it seems to have a yellow/orange tint. I want something more "flat" and true to what I see in the viewfinder if that makes any sense. I get my films developed at walgreens if that matters. Thanks guys, good shit.

maybe some Lomography color film? Kodak Portra has nice skin tones if thats what you want. but as far as what you "see in the viewfinder", the viewfinder can be dusty, clouded, etc... especially on an AE-1 (made in like 1977), so i'm not exactly sure how to help there.

cool, what kind of glass was he making? BTW, imgur doesn't embed on here for some reason. I had to go to the direct link

good lookin out on the embed stuff. If I can remember right I think he was making a bubbler. He usually only makes pipe and is in one of the better shops in the area. he dabbles in some other glass work but mostly keeps it to pipes, bubs, etc.

the viewfinder on my ae1 is brighter and cleaner than the one on my dslr, but like johnvharrison said, kodak portra 160 or 400 is great film for natural flat colors. good for daytime natural light. my favorite film is fuji pro 400h. the colors are similar to portra but i think it handles artificial light better. very similar to what you see with your eye.

i think im becoming spoiled by portra and 400h. the colors are so accurate and the grain is so fine. i am always disappointed when i get a roll of ultramax or superia developed, unless im going for that grainy lomography feel.

just fix it in photoshop to get the look you want. Porta is a great base though, I never finding myself really having to fuck hard with skin tones. i'll get a magenta shift here and there, but it's definitely the most "the camera sees what i see" film I've used. and medium format helps that as well. everything else before has just seemed like an approximation. seriously, medium format is amazing.

I'm not sure how many people check the other arts threads, but I feel like it's worth it to post this here (original thread here: http://hypebeast.com/forums/arts/193723):
